Hypertension Day

Maintaining a healthy blood pressure will help reduce your risk of heart and circulatory disease. Ways to maintain a healthy blood pressure includes reducing salt intake, being more active, maintaining a healthy weight, limiting alcohol intake and increasing fruit and vegetable consumption. 

If your blood pressure is consistently higher than 140/90mmHg then you may have high blood pressure, which is medically known as Hypertension. There are several ways you can get your blood pressure checked. For more information on these, please click here.
